Our Lady of Wisdom Church - Lafayette (LA)

5 /5 Lane Fournerat: This Catholic Church is located on the ULL campus. We attended this mass because our friends daughter was getting confirmed. This church has a very interesting layout because the alter is in the middle of the church and the congregation seating is to the priests right and left. Think of it like a butterfly, the priest is the middle ( where the caterpillar would be) and the congregation is the wings. I am always fascinated with this churches layout. Due to it being a confirmation mass, the bishop was there and he gave the homily, so I cannot attest to the usual priest’s homily. The canter was fantastic. He sounds very traditional and he has an amazing voice.

5 /5 Trey Petitjean: Wisdom has been my home at UL, and the people there have made sure that my stay has always been a good one. The staff is full of enthusiasm, the parishioners are very generous and kind hearted people, and there just never seems to be a dull moment there. Its a great place to learn about experiencing life to the fullest. The priest there is also quite a trip. Hes got a very laid back personality (and a sense of humor to go with it), but is not afraid to bring the hammer down when hes preaching. Fr. makes sure that his points are well understood. I dont think Ive ever walked away from a mass not feeling educated in some sort of way. Its fantastic.

5 /5 Glenn Mentel: Its a great church with a great service, but it does run longer than a normal Catholic mass and they incorporate certain parts of the traditional Latin Mass as well. Also, for anyone with any sort of breathing disorder or impairment, they use a lot of incense during the mass so be aware of that.

5 /5 Raul Estrada: Our Lady of Wisdom Church is a vibrant college ministry right in the heart of campus. The priests, staff, and students radiate authentic and joyful Catholicism and really are a pillar of the university community. The Ragin Cajun Catholics promote a beautiful "Culture of Life" in what sometimes can be an environment which is sometimes hostile to such a message. Keep up the great work and keep on living out the Gospel message of promoting Christs truth to a university community that really needs to hear it.

5 /5 Katie Andrus: The church itself is quite beautiful. Mass is held every day, which is perfect for students on campus who dont have time to leave campus and get to a different mass before another class starts up. The staff is friendly and they really know what the Catholic Church teaches and believes. Sadly, you wont find this in all churches. Fr. Bryce Sibley is a fantastic priest. During his homilies he does not waste time trying to be a comedian or trying to create warm fuzzy feelings for the congregation. He spends his time preaching truth and trying to bring souls to Christ. He is truly a great man that cares for the souls of others.
